****The Trump Administration is exploring censoring Google ****

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The Trump administration is “taking a look” at whether Google searches should be regulated by the government, said Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s economic adviser, outside the White House Tuesday.

The announcement puts the search giant squarely in the White House’s crosshairs amid wider allegations against the tech industry that it systematically discriminates against conservatives on social media and other platforms.

Kudlow’s remark to reporters came hours after Trump fired off a series of predawn tweets complaining about Google search results for “Trump News.”

In a pair of tweets posted before 6 a.m., the president said the results included only “the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media.”
